Stationed Home

San Luis Valley Behavioral Health Group (SLVBHG), a progressive community mental health center, has been nationally recognized for its success in helping individuals, couples and families with the challenges they’re facing, both big and small. Such challenges are typical for a soldier returning from military life to home; reconnecting with family and friends can be strained, reintegrating into the community can be difficult. SLVBHG, with convenient office locations in Alamosa, Monte Vista, La Jara, Antonito, San Luis and Center, is ready now to take your call. That’s right. No waiting list…no red tape…and strictly confidential. All treatment services provided by SLVBHG to the returning soldier and his/her family are kept in strict confidence. Unless requested by the person receiving services, this information is not shared with the Veterans Health Administration or other government agency. The professional staff at SLVBHG are skilled in the assessment and treatment in a variety of areas, including: depression; anxiety; substance abuse; children’s issues; relationship issues; PTSD and traumatic brain injury.

SLVBHG provides 24-hour, seven-day-a-week crisis intervention and assessment. We also offer outpatient therapy, psychiatric medication, consultation and case management services. Working together, our professional staff strives to provide the best possible service planning for individuals and their families.

San Luis Valley Behavioral Health Group uses a sliding fee scale, based on household income and family size. We are a Medicaid provider. We bill Medicare and private insurance.
